About
The House of the Seven Gables in Salem is a 1600s mansion that inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne’s famous novel. Families join a guided tour through the creaky rooms, climb a hidden staircase, and then head outside to the seaside gardens. Tours last about an hour, open year-round, and is best for school-age kids who like history tied to a real story.
